Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Old Entrance to Lamorbey, Sidcup, circa 1900 This black and white lantern slide presents an intriguing view of the old entrance to Lamorbey, located in the historic area of Sidcup, Kent, England. The image, dating back to approximately 1900, offers a rare glimpse into the topography and environs of this locality during the early 1900s. In the photograph, we see the rear view of the entrance, which is adorned with an ornate stone archway.
